My Dossier: Very dangerous. Do not handle at all.

Sear Showcase,

I know you have to edit British television for time.  I understand that.  Despite this, I would like to complain about how poorly you edit Ashes to Ashes.  Seriously, it's like a five year-old edited the series.  It's random cuts, lines left unanswered and entire necessary subplots to the overall arc left out.    
You did a decent job with Life on Mars so I know it's possible to make a series look like it wasn't edited by randomly pressing the cut button whenever you felt like it.
No love,
Spy

Since all of my shows are currently taking a break, I'm going to pimp a few of the shows recapped by Recapist that I think are worth the read.  I'm only pimping recaps I've actually read -- but Recapist has a ton of shows to offer.

Of course, I recap Doctor Who, Numb3rs, Primeval and Torchwood (including the radio play!).  If you haven't read them yet, give them a try.  (I will be recapping Dollhouse whenever that filming train wreck makes it into the station.  I hope it'll live up to the hype.) Heck, someone from a site bigger than ours thought the Torchwood recaps were worth trying to plagiarize so I must be doing something right.  Random point: I do have a thing for British Sci-Fi, don't I?  Unfortunately, the icon of awesome that is Sarah Jane Smith, intimidates me too much to take on her part of the Whoniverse.

My BFF, travellingone , who once covered for me with Torchwood, only to find herself enmeshed in the plagiarism issue when the same unnamed site tried to copy her recap, (and she once stole my voice another of my recaps for Doctor Who --  "Midnight") covers Life on Mars (US).  If you've not seen this little show, after a bumpy start, it's actually turning out quite nicely.  Unfortunately, there are big shoes and skinny pants for it to fill when it comes to the UK counterpart.  You can catch up on the show thus far by reading the recaps.  (Plus, she let me play in her sandbox and cover an episode while she was in Paris.)

anniemoon , aka Annie, my former boss at Fandom Talk and lovely all-round person who gave me my first chance at recapping, covers CSI. She's another one who is so good, people literally copy and paste her recaps elsewhere.  (They shouldn't do that, and the foot of Buzznet will come down on their heads.)  She also recaps So You Think You Can Dance, and I'm highly disappointed she didn't cover the Canadian version of it.  She would've had a blast with Nico's fauxhawk.

Ran Cansley recaps her beloved Friday Night Lights.  If you don't know about her love for that show, you haven't even heard of Ran Cansley.   She also covers Survivor and has way more patience for those who inflict themselves with starvation, looking like an idiot and flashing the continent while no one notices (initially), than I ever could.   I haven't watched the show in four years, but I love the recaps.

Gemma is our wittle baby recapper and she's totally taken over Supernatural.  She snarks way beyond her years.  She also covers The Mentalist, and I make a point to stop by her recaps every week.  She and I share a love of Patrick Jane and all his perfect hair goodness.  Gemma's also just started Leverage.  It's a new show (and set of recaps) that needs pimping.

Nova A covers Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and she shares the same frustration with the bloody ellipsis that I do.  I mean a literal bloody ellipsis.

Jane St. Clair has an unfortunate habit of recapping great shows that get cancelled.  Case in point: Pushing Daisies.  The only show not currently suffering this trend is Chuck.  My relief when she took over this show was palpable.  I love me my Chuck Bartowski and the Nerd Herd.

BTW, did you know you can become a fan of The Recapist on Facebook?  Seriously, go become a fan if you like the snark.

Here's a challenge to my F-list: link to a set of recaps on your journal you think people should go and check out.  It can be a show listed here, or something completely different.  Holidays are coming and we all need some laughs to get through the craziness.  Let your F-lists know where the funny is.

"If you'll be a hooker, I'll be a tool."  (I don't think I have that quite right.)

Life on Mars is airing early.
